Strong problem-solving skills, ability to work cross-functionally with diverse teams, and effective communication (written and verbal)
Master’s degree (preferred)

Responsibilities

Lead the design release process for mechatronic comfort & aero components (e.g., active aero systems, comfort actuators, door / window mechatronics, flap systems), from concept through production
Develop and maintain unit/component specifications derived from vehicle-level and system-level functional requirements
Create and supervise deliverables such as DFMEA, DVP&R (Design Verification Plan & Report), work product documentation, and change management records
Conduct design reviews (mechanical, electrical, thermal, mechatronic), interface with CAE/FEA teams to validate packaging, durability, and performance targets
Interface with Tier-1 suppliers and internal manufacturing entities to ensure design meets functional, quality, cost and timing objectives; participate in supplier selection, technical assessments, and follow-up actions
Drive engineering change management: raise and track Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), update EBOM/BOM records, ensure traceability through release systems
Support prototype builds, pre-production, and pilot vehicle builds at manufacturing sites; support launch readiness and production release
Investigate and lead root-cause analyses for field, warranty and quality concerns; implement corrective and preventive actions
Manage documentation in PLM and release tools (e.g., Teamcenter, NX, CAD/CAE libraries, change systems); ensure data integrity for audits
Collaborate in multi-discipline teams (mechanical, electrical/electronic, controls, software) to ensure system integration and align component behavior with vehicle-level functional objectives
Monitor project schedule, deliverables, cost and risk; report status across program milestones and escalate issues appropriately
